YouTuber Alpharad has spent the past five months making hype highlight videos of online matches. He has finally finished his “How to Play Sm4sh 101” series with one last Villager video, showing off his absurd damage potential and mindgames.

Adam Savage – Duck Army

The Duck Army battlecry is slowly spreading all over the Internet. On Twitter, Adam Savage from Mythbusters discovered the screaming Duck Army and quickly weaponized it. I just now found it too, so let’s embed some tweets and see what happens. (Tumblr doesn't support Twitter's embedded tweets at all... That's sad... Click here for the duck bomb video.

Really Bad Chess

Really Bad Chess is a randomized chess game for iOS and Android. Both sides often start with several bishops and knights up front and multiple queens in the back. Never mind protecting all your pieces; both players’ material is going to get bodied for free.

When not occupied with yet another mobile game, I’ve been distracted by the hallway thing in the background, bootleg Famiclones, current events, and feeds getting added, dropped, and shut down. If you want to see more of the kinds of stuff I post, I suggest following TwistedSifter and Something Random.

16-Bit Bar+Arcade

I visited 16-Bit Bar+Arcade tonight, and I've never seen that many people in an arcade in Columbus. Most games are in excellent shape, and there are some unique cabinets like Baby Pac-Man and Slick Shot. Here are the new high scores on Gorf, Space Invaders, and Rally-X. I'll be coming for the others later. I hope they get a good 90s shmup in there soon.

Canvas for Pebble

UPDATE: I made another Canvas screen called Wallpaper Watchface. Go get that one instead. It’s better.

Wearable devices are the next big thing in tech. I’ve jumped on the bandwagon with a Pebble, and I want to develop for it. On Android, Canvas for Pebble lets you quickly make watchfaces that nicely display the time, date, weather, and your phone’s unread message and missed call counts. I took a few hours and made a watchface I like that displays seconds, and you can have it too.

If you want to try on the Dr. Mo Day 1 watchface, you’ll need a Pebble running  firmware 2.0 beta and Canvas for Pebble 2.0 beta. These should still work when Pebble 2.0 and Canvas for Pebble 2.0 are released. Once that’s installed, visit this post on your phone and click the version you want below.

Dr. Mo Day 1 Imperial Dr. Mo Day 1 Metric

Ever notice how almost every watch ad has the time set to 10:10? Analog watches look better that way, but I'm not so sure about digital watches. It's a lot harder to fake the time on a cell phone.

Did You Know Gaming? — Grand Theft Auto V

By the way, testing something here. You're reading the title text, not the alt text. (...That's what the WordPress version of this post said when you mouseover the image. Tumblr doesn’t support mouseover text, so you get the mouseover text as plain text instead.)

Quake Live

Quake Live is a refreshingly fast and simple first person shooter straight out of the 90s. It was merely a free-to-play version of Quake III Arena until a few weeks ago when they added weapon loadouts. You now start with one of four primary weapons and one of four secondary weapons. If you want to start every life with a railgun and a shotgun, now you can! Quake Live made its debut on Steam this week, so find me there and join the fight!

If all the guns and killing put you off, how about Jazzpunk’s take on it? It’s full of gaming references like this.

Dear Catcom--err Capcom by suzuran

Rob Hubbard – Monty on the Run

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 26: Music you like from a game you haven’t played From Monty on the Run (C64, 1985)

I grew up in an Apple II house, so I’ve barely touched the Commodore 64. I’ve played Space Taxi a couple times, but that’s it. Is THEC64 worth picking up?
